dude no way.

The main reason I said that I would have waited is because the '06 Si is probably gonna be the best Civic made to date. More than that it will probably be better than the old Preludes.
Touch it... He won't bite, He'll just come at you pretty quick.

I'm sorry... don't know why I said that about them not being fast... please don't hurt me?! They're quick. Also... you should do a type-s head swap. Or look around and maybe find a type-r if you're lucky.

Rep Power: 334 ive read up on that Type-S headswap swap on A3's, and they seem to say the gains don't show through unless you get the A2 6 speed tranny.
The Type-S head flows superior to the A3 head, but you need the gearing to take advantage of its flow in the upper RPM band.
